I downloaded FF4 and my MAC 10x does not support it. Need to reinstall 3.5-3.6. How?

After receiving the Firefox 4.0 information, I decided to down load it. I replaced my 3.5 with the 4.9 only to find out that my OSX 10.4 will not run FF 4.0. Now I've lost everything because i no longer have 3.5 on my hard drive! How can I reinstall 3.5 or 3.6? The only option I am getting is to install 4.0.

Chosen solution

There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox

If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com

Thanks--as long as there is a third-party version of Firefox 4, though, is there a way that it could be incorporated into an "official" Firefox version? For security reasons, I'm always afraid to use third-party browsers. Or is tenfourfox being "endorsed" by Mozilla in some way?
